The robbery at the
Oxford Liquor Shop
occurred about 7:25 p.m. on Feb. 3. Police said a man entered the shop, implied he was armed and took cash from a register. A search of the area by troopers from the Southbury barracks and the Oxford resident state trooper's office came up empty.

Vance said detectives from the Western District Major
Crime Squad
continued the investigation and Thursday obtained a
Superior Court
warrant charging Fortin with robbery, larceny and threatening.

Police also hold several other warrants charging him with auto theft and violation of probation.

Fortin has a history of stealing cars when in need of transportation and, based on information developed during the investigation, authorities believe he could be in Arkansas.

Police are asking anyone with information about Fortin's whereabouts to call (203) 267-2200. All calls and information will be kept confidential.
